Caught in a Trap

A recently
aired story from a local news station shows a man in a bathrobe who strips and
starts dancing to the theme from Rockyaround a setmousetrap. We all know where
this is headed—he places his penis on thetrap, which then snaps on the
family jewels. His reaction is also caught on film.

Dozens of
news stations as well as online forums picked up the story. Needless to say,
the clip can be accessed on the Internet, and as disturbing as people claim the
whole behavior (and subsequent public airing) is, it has generated a
considerable amount on online attention. Not only can you chat about it,
comment about it, and blog about it, you can view it on several sites. This is
not the first such incident that has hit the Internet—one teen actually did the
same act for $20 and a pack of cigarettes. However, this incident was intended
to be viewed over public cable access on television. The reaction over the
public television episode locally hit theInternet and the
word spread. Twenty years ago, a childish stunt like this would not have
garnered much attention. However, in today’s world, millions can now view this
type of infamous idiocy almost instantaneously.
